\section{Related Work}
There are several ongoing projects that entail research dedicated to realizing the future Internet of Things.

In \cite{uckelmann2011architectural} an architectural approach for the future Internet of Things is presented. The presented architecture extends the open and standardized EPCglobal network~\footnote{http://www.gs1.org/epcglobal}. This architecture includes the concept of Internet of Things Information Services that extend the EPC Information Services and provide several enhancements: extended static data support, integration of dynamic data, support for non-IP devices, integration of an actuator interface, optional integration of software agents, extended federated discovery service, data synchronization for offline support and an interface to federated billing services.

How the Internet of Things can be realized using RFID is presented by \cite{welbourne2009building}. An ecoystem of Web-based tools allows users to understand, manage and control personal RFID data and privacy settings. For a four-week study, RFID tags and reader antennas were deployed on the university campus, allowing further investigations on applications, systems and social issues.

In \cite{atzori2010internet} a survey about the research on the Internet of Things, including the requirements and technologies to realize the IoT, is provided.
